I have found a strange Problem.
Network:
+---------------------------+
| |
| |
| |
| OPNsense |
| |
| |
| |
| |
+----------------+---------+
|
|
|
|
|
+----------------+---------+
| |
| |
| |
| ESXi |
| |
| |
| |
+----------------------------+
When the opnsense is directly attached to my esxi this happens:
ESXi in shutdown state (PSU is switched on):
start ESXi -> works
ESXi completly powerded of (PSU switched off):
start ESXi by attaching the power cord: ESXi boots -> cannot reach vm using the vmnetwork
once i reboot the OPNsense the VM on the ESXi is reachable.
Could this be an ARP issue?
I have seen this behavior since i use OPNsense (18.7) I even swapped the NICs (Intel on both sides)
